On episode 86 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by John Greenewald, the creator and moderator of The Black Vault.The Black Vault is the largest privately run online repository of declassified government documents anywhere in the world. With more than 2 Million pages of documents to read, on nearly every government secret imaginable, The Black Vault is known worldwide for getting down to the truth... and nothing but. Every document in its archive was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act Begun in 1996, at the age of 15, John Greenewald, Jr., began hammering the U.S. Government with FOIA requests to obtain information. The Black Vault is the result of that near two-decade effort. And today, we talk about how it all began, the most important documents he came across pertaining to UFOs, and then we do a deep dive into AATIP, the supposed Secret Pentagon UFO Program, and the critical observations John has come across in relation to the head of the program, Luis Elizondo. We wrap things up talking about a stunning amount of never-before-seen documents pertaining to the CIA's involvement in a Behavioral Modification program that involved mind control and other MK ULTRA-like experiments.Guest Bio: In 1996, John Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the U.S. Government at the young age of fifteen. He targeted such groups as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others. Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to thousands of records. He accumulated an astonishing number of documents on topics related to UFOs, the JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top secret aircraft. Over two million pages later, and the Black Vault website was created.Greenewald has been featured on television networks such as The History Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, A&E, FOX, NBC, along with international networks such as the BBC (UK) and NTV (Russia) and many others. At the age of twenty-one, Greenewald published his first book Beyond UFO Secrecy in 2002.

On episode 84 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan welcomes back Jeremy Corbell to the show to talk about his latest film, Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.Bob Lazar remains the singular most famous and controversial name in the world of UFOs. The reason you know about Area 51 is because Lazar came forward and told you about it. His disclosures have turned his life upside-down and he has tried to stay out of the spotlight. For this reason, he has never let any filmmaker into the private world of his daily life - that is - until now. Corbell’s film explores Lazar’s claims through the decades - providing rare and never before revealed footage - guaranteed to alter the landscape of the debate. And today, we cover some of the biggest controversies surrounding the Lazar mythos and Corbell's approach to covering this story, over thirty years in the making.The film will premiere in Los Angeles on December 3rd at the Ace Theater. CLICK HERE for tickets.The film will release worldwide on all streaming platforms. To pre-order with hours of bonus footage, CLICK HEREGuest Bio: Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell is an Investigative filmmaker. He has been deep in the trenches documenting extra-ordinary individuals and their belief systems. This research has taken him into the worlds of nanotechnology, advanced aerospace exploration, and exotic propulsion systems. Corbell has documented the surgical removal of alleged off-world alien implants, and with access to NASA and a contingency of dedicated scientists, he has filmed the analysis of anomalous materials alleged to be physical evidence of extraterrestrial nanotechnology from UFO landing sites. Corbell has obtained death-bed confessions from former CIA and government intelligence officials, who claim to expose the truth about the UFO reality and the worldwide coverup of the ultimate truth. He has deeply investigated the Bob Lazar UFO case, and all the individuals associated with his claims, and has broken elements of the story that have sparked vigorous public debate. Corbell’s film work reveals how ideas, held by credible individuals, can alter the way we experience the world and force us to reconsider the fabric of our own beliefs.

On episode 81 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we return to UFOs in full force with an explosive interview with military veteran, retired police detective, and current UFO investigator, James Clarkson. After lecturing about government secrecy pertaining to UFOs, an elderly woman approached him and told him that she agreed that the government wasn't sharing with the public all they knew about UFOs. Upon asking her how she knew, Clarkson was intrigued by her answer; "Because I worked there..."This is the June Crain story, placed into the context of the history of the UFO phenomenon since WWII. This is a strong indictment of the last official word from the Air Force on Roswell. Tell My Story explains why Roswell and UFOs, in general, are anything but "case closed." Clarkson runs us through some of the more compelling aspects of both June Crain's life and her handling of possible materials from the Roswell UFO incident.We also get the inside scoop on why Clarkson quit MUFON and recently rejoined, and his personal thoughts on To the Stars Academy and the future of UFO research.Guest Bio: James Clarkson is a career investigator with over 30 years’ experience in criminal investigation and in the mysterious world of UFOs.
